Hi young post!
What are the specifications of any image sent to you for the summer holidays writing competition? Can you please send the details to me again cause I lost them.
Hi Carol. For the summer holiday writing competition, we would just need a clear picture of yourself, a headshot. It shouldn’t be too small and it must be in jpeg format. Your student photo would be just fine.
You can find all the details on the contest on our website: http://bit.ly/L6OJry
Thanks for your message.

Dear Young Post,
At least how old do you have to be to submit a post to young post?
Thanks
Hi, it depends on what the article is about. YP doesn’t really have a minimum age limit for article submission. As long as the piece is well-written and relevant to what we’re doing at the paper, we might consider it for publication.
Thanks for your message.

Hey I’m Ilya. I was wondering if Young Post can take a new spin on fashion and have articles like “Who Wore it Better” or “Dress Like Your Favorite Celebrities” or “Use the Same Beauty products as your favorite Celebrities”. What do you think YP?
hi yp，
can i change my picture portrait?
btw，i ve sent my ideas with the title “submission” to reporters club twice already，but why can’t i get my reply? have i not been writing the correct title?
Hi Cecilia,
I’m not exactly sure what you mean by your picture portrait. Do you mean the photo for the Reporters Club?
Thanks for your emails with your story ideas. Please understand that we receive quite a lot of emails everyday so it takes us some time to go through them all. We will reply soon.
Thanks for your message.

Hello, I’m a student at Eton College in England and I live in Hong Kong, and I am going on a school trip to Greenland next Summer, and I was wondering if I could write an article for the paper. The trip is mainly for exploration and is also hoping to address some issues on climate change’s effect on Greenland.
Thanks!
Hey Sandy. Can you email the idea for your story to yp@scmp.com? Thanks!
Hi,
Can I write something that’s quite controversial. Topics related to religion and politics, which might hurt some sensitive people’s feelings, but can I?
Thanks
Hiya,
I’m new to the Young Post, and I was wondering if I want to write an article, does it need to be written in a particular format, or is this all done by the editorial team?
Cheers
to whomever it may concern,
My name is Jonathan Wong. I joined one of the activities with quotas provided by YP but indeed held by other organisations,and I was supposed to write an activity review. My question is, regarding the OLE scheme under the new 334 system, do I receive any OLE hours counted for joining the scheme and for writing the report? If yes, for how many hours will it be taken into account? Thank you for your kind attention.
Hi Jonathan, you’ll have to ask this to your teacher…
hello there Young Post!
I’ve just recently joined the club, and I’m not so sure what to do. How can I get my stories/articles published in the paper? What can I write about and what are the topics?

I’m planning on applying to the Reporters’ Club ASAP and I was wondering if you needed any sample essays/teacher references/reports etc?

No it’s fine, just write 150 words on why you want to join the club.

Hello!
I have just become a member of Young Post a couple weeks ago. I really have no idea what I am supposed to do or how things are run here. Is there anything I need to do specifically?? I am going to the Philippines next Saturday for a week and wouldn’t mind writing a little bit about my experience there.
Thanks!
Hi Adelaide, I’ve sent you an email…
Hello,
I’m a huge fan of the band Maroon 5 and would absolutely love to interview them when they come to Hong Kong! Will there be an opportunity?
Thanks so much
